day off? day off? we don't believe in those.

i have decided to write a blog instead of watching the super bowl. i'm just not a sports kid on any level, i guess.
as a matter of fact, i don't think anyone in my house is watching the super bowl at the moment. it's on the tv, just no one cares.
besides, as my friend chris says, "in the end, this game will probably come down to which team has the most points."

i finally got around to finishing that blasted closet. it devoured my entire saturday. i found more weird, awesome stuff, most of which i didn't even know existed.
New List Of Things Excavated From Wasteland
- those russian babushka dolls that stack inside each other (which, i might add, are legitimately from russia)
- a "lady and the tramp" poster from 1955 (i honestly had never seen it before)
- a guide to the original pokemon gameboy games

if you haven't checked out your closet in awhile, i highly suggest you do. there's no telling what's in there.

so my saturday was completely given up to that.i have had an incredible weekend, though. it's truly been a lot of fun.
friday night, despite being tired enough to pass out, i went to my friend wesley's house for a game night. not only was the food incredible, i love his family. we ended up playing bibleopoly, which is just like monopoly, but bible-themed and longer and even harder to win. we didn't finish, and all i could think of was dane cook saying, "its four o'clock in the morning, Grandma! YOU WIN!!"

oh, and my little sister went on a legitimate date. i had multiple people offer to help me spy on them. you know, wear fake mustaches and sunglasses into the movie theater and sit two rows behind them. my dad told us we needed to get a life.

on a totally unrelated note, i've discovered how my life is not about me on any level.
it's kind of something i always knew, but it's just now something that i've been putting into practice.
in the last week, i've taken up the habit of asking people "how are you?" and waiting for a more legitimate answer than "i'm fine." because if we're all honest, not many people are "fine."
i spent a good deal of time monitoring how much i listen vs. how much i talk. it kind of ended up looking like this.

i figured there was probably a problem with that.

so i have tried to be as open to people as i can be, and it's been absolutely amazing. you'd be surprised how much you can love people when you listen. it makes them real. it kind of reminds me that we are all human.

i don't know why i have a hard time remembering that sometimes.

we are two hours and thirty-three minutes away from monday. bring it.

wishing you all well, comrades.

P.S. i do sincerely apologize for my scatterbrain-ness in this blog. i feel like i'm all over the place these days.
